Ah!  Thanks for the tip. ;-)

(Just last night I was trying to explain to a friend about Usenet
and how it's not Google Groups.)


I really hope I can be of use with IDLE.  I've been using it for years now. :)

"The history of mankind for the last four centuries is rather like that of
an imprisoned sleeper, stirring clumsily and uneasily while the prison that
restrains and shelters him catches fire, not waking but incorporating the
crackling and warmth of the fire with ancient and incongruous dreams, than
like that of a man consciously awake to danger and opportunity."
--H. P. Wells, "A Short History of the World"
